If this is the sense of semantic meaning that's relevant, it's not clear to me why there's anything special about DNA. Doesn't a particular collection of rocks and branches mean, "This is a stream bed," in the same sense?I would say a particular combination of DNA may mean in general, "This is a human." Of course, what DNA actually "says" is even more specific. A particular strand of DNA at a crime scene may say in effect, "A particular individual named so-and-so has been here."
